Stanley R. Resor

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Stanley R. Resor (0-374499), Major (Field Artillery), U.S. Army, for gallantry in action while serving as Executive Officer of the 420th Field Artillery Battalion, 10th Armored Division, at Neustadt, Germany, on 20 March 1945. When the task force commander and several officers became casualties, Major Resor, braving intense hostile fire, assumed command and reorganized his men to successfully overcome furious enemy resistance. His gallant achievement reflects great credit upon himself and the military forces of the United States.
